Ingredients
  

1 cup all-purpose flour

2 tablespoons sugar

1 tablespoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 large egg

3/4 cup milk (choose buttermilk for extra fluffiness)

2 tablespoons melted butter (plus more for cooking)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Optional: 1/2 cup chocolate chips or fresh berries

For serving: Maple syrup, whipped cream, or fresh fruit

Instructions
 

Prepare the Batter: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until combined.

    Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, beat the egg. Then add the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.

      Mix Wet and Dry: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; some lumps are perfectly fine. If desired, fold in chocolate chips or berries at this stage.

        Heat the Pan: Place a non-stick skillet or a griddle over medium heat, and add a small amount of butter to coat the surface.

          Cook the Bites: Using a tablespoon or a small cookie scoop, drop batter onto the skillet to form small pancake bites, spacing them apart slightly. Cook for 2-3 minutes until bubbles form on the surface and the edges start to look set.

            Flip and Finish: Carefully flip the pancake bites and continue cooking for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown. Remove from the skillet and keep warm while cooking the remaining batter.

              Serve and Enjoy: Serve the pancake bites warm with a drizzle of maple syrup, a dollop of whipped cream, and a sprinkle of fresh fruit on top.
